How did you determine that your Vulcan and Special Steel barrels are not Parker barrels? Maybe you should link to the discussion.

The serial number of the receiver is 94867.
The number of the barrel set is 222130. The "3" in the number is not clearly stamped. I do believe it is a "3" rather than an "8". In rechecking the barrels, the following is stamped along the rib: "PARKER BROS.MAKERS.MERIDAN.CT.U.S.A. VULCAN STEEL". |

I had taken the gun to Cabela's to get an evaluation of the value of the gun. Their position was that the barrels are not authentic Parker barrels, unless I can get some authoritative information that Parker had either installed them originally, or more likely, that it was a change for repair.

If you could post some pictures of the markings it would help
From the sounds of the rib markings they are Parker barrels just not original to the gun From the serial numbers it may be a composed gun, the barrels fitted by some one other than Parker Some folks may think that not all of Cabela's gun experts are such

I'm sure many have tried to find that screw. Pretty sure most think this simple cap must be the elusive tightener. So few unturned, so many buggered.

With the SN of 94867, there is the #"2" stamped over the "8" and the letter G stamped under the "8".
Also the forend has the same serial #, 94867, stamped on the metal portion. |
